I'd like to rewire my living room in the next couple of months is to rewire it for surround sound. I have a 5.1 system set up, but all the speakers are in the same location. In our old house I'd run wires up and down walls, but I don't want to do that here, especially after all the time Bonnie and I will have invested getting pretty colors and drapes up on the walls.

Can anyone with any experience at snaking wires tell me if I'm going to get in over my head here? Am I better off just hiring a professional electrician to do this? It seemed rather expensive the last time I had an estimate done, and I'm presuming that this stuff isn't rocket science.
